“I close my eyes and I feel your heart beat against mine. I feel your chest rise and fall with every breath. Your sweet smell leaves me breathless.” - Rose Minnee -
Newborn Photography
I still remember those first few days and weeks of becoming a mum. I remember looking at this new life we had just brought into the world, thinking how insanely overwhelming and intense this new kind of love felt - a love that is literally like no other.
It’s the little moments of connection between you and your baby that I wish to capture for you and your family. The way you carefully hold them in your arms, introduce them to their sibling, how you hold their little fingers while you feed. My desire is that in years to come, the moments I have captured will remind you of all the amazing feelings, emotions and changes you went through, during this super special time in your lives.
I will capture all the fun that comes with having a newborn in the house: special moments between siblings, cuddles and feeding. It’s also about capturing all those precious little details, from their cute little wrinkly toes right up to that adorable tiny button nose! Although my style is mostly about capturing natural moments of your new family, I will also take a few more traditional posed sleepy newborn photos of your baby, if he or she falls asleep during our session.
The ideal time to photograph your beautiful new baby boy or girl, is in the first six weeks. My preference is to photograph you and your family in the comfort of your own home, as I have found that babies and younger older siblings are so much more relaxed in an environment they are used to, with familiar smells and sounds around them.
I recommend you book your newborn photoshoot before your baby arrives, so that it is one less thing you need to be thinking of during those hazy early days. We can then keep in touch about the date and timing of this session, as it will depend a little on what your baby is up to on the proposed day of your photoshoot and of course when they arrive in relation to your estimated due date.
If this is your first child you may wish to consider a ‘First Moments’ photoshoot - sometimes also known as a Fresh 48 photoshoot, as it is usually captured within 48 hours after birth. This is a great option for anyone who is not sure about having a professional photographer there for the birth of your child, but would still really like to capture all those beautiful life changing first experiences.
